Match the office to the question

Cameron Appraisal District handles appraisal and map-search questions; the County Tax Assessor-Collector is the property-tax service and payment route; and the County Clerk handles official records and legal-instrument recording. Probate questions have a separate court contact. A court judgment is a case record, so use the court and case information on the notice instead of treating it as a deed, appraisal, or tax account.

Texas sale information

A transfer-tax rule to know before closing

This rule helps separate a transfer tax from the recording and other property-specific charges shown in your closing paperwork.

Texas has no real-estate transfer tax on a full-ownership sale

Texas · state rule for a sale conveying full ownership of real property

Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership of real property. The Texas Constitution bars a law imposing a tax on that kind of transfer. The deed still needs a notarized signature and county recording, so ask the title company to identify any recording charges and other property-specific line items on the settlement paperwork.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Brownsville and Cameron County resource questions

Where do I check a Brownsville property’s appraised value?

Use the Cameron Appraisal District map-search page for appraisal and map-search questions. The listed map-search address is 2021 Amistad Drive, P.O. Box 1010, San Benito, TX 78586. An appraisal record is not the current property-tax balance.

Which office handles an unpaid Cameron County property-tax bill?

Use the Cameron County Tax Assessor-Collector property-tax service and payment route. The Brownsville Main Office is at 835 E. Levee St., 1st Floor, and its phone is 956-544-0800. The County also lists the Southmost Tax Office at 3000 Southmost Blvd., 956-356-6460; check the linked County page for current details.

Where do I ask about a recorded deed or a court judgment?

For a recorded deed or other legal instrument, use the Cameron County Clerk recording contact. A court judgment is a court-case record, not an appraisal, tax account, or deed; use the court and case information on the judgment or notice. The supplied county contacts do not identify a general judgment-search office.

Where should I start with a probate question?

Cameron County Probate Court No. 1 is a local probate-related contact route at 974 E. Harrison St., Brownsville, TX 78520; call 956-574-8116. The correct venue and who may sign depend on the estate and property records, so use the actual court and estate information for the house.

Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell a house?

No. Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership of real property. The deed still needs a notarized signature and county recording; ask the title company to identify any recording charges on the settlement paperwork. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Can I ask for an offer if the house needs work?

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form on this page. We’ll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
